We have our share of experts on here. Some, it seems, know everything about everything. But I'm here to bring some humility.
Let's post the current event you know the LEAST about, and then someone can post links that maybe provide a good overview, or even a detailed analysis.
I'll start: T...

Welfare queens exist. No doubt. But do they turn out in record numbers to vote? Are they the ones that won this election?
The consensus on this board is that "People love their free shit", but do we actually know how many "leeches" voted, and if it was enough to put Obama over the top?
I ...

Your party is about to get a huge boost. Then, in 2016, we can have an honest debate between the role and size of government, while social issues play a small role in the election.
A libertarian may not get the nom in 2016, but I guarantee the republican candidate will resemble Ron Paul more t...

Generally speaking, north Louisiana pub schools are much better. In fact, there are not that many private schools north of alexandria, period. Why? What can BR and Nola do to improve? Should they?
Thoughts?...

Much like mandated car insurance, will we see health insurance companies create a bare-bones, low cost, low benefit product now, maybe equal to or less than the tax penalty, that will generate a truckload for them?
I'm sure they are already being designed, but do you think they can make the econo...

Wait. Scratch that.
[quote]A growing alliance between Democratic leaders and the natural gas industry looks like it's bearing fruit for both sides, with Democrats backing a measure that could mean billions in profits for their industry.[/quote]
Again, for all of those in the bubble, both the ...

Looking like Obama is going to win this, if the economy continues is slow improvement, mostly due to the weak GOP field.
So, what are this board's predictions for how the country will look in 2016? Will the economy improve dramatically? Not at all? Will all freedom be gone? What are your bes...

at a Republican debate a few months back? How many on here would boo a soldier because he was gay?
Also, if I remember right, that gay soldier was freaking huge and could absolutely kick the arse of everyone on this board. ...

This is more of a religious discussion so I'm keeping it on the Poliboard.
I don't subscribe to any religion, but I couldn't care less that Tim Tebow is really devout and displays it. I can also say that I don't know if I have heard of anyone who is truly up in arms about it. So, where is the c...

I am too young to remember the Edwards/Roemer/Duke election clearly, but I do remember feeling embarassed even at a young age that Louisiana was a laughing stock, with a joke on SNL about it, to boot.
Did anyone on here vote for David Duke?...

Good God, a lot of people on here really hate Michelle Obama. Which is pretty amazing to me. Hating the First Lady, or letting anything they do or say get you upset.
Which other First Ladies got the poli-board's panties in a wad?...

Or maybe it isn't new. I saw it just now for the first time, anyway.
Actually includes this line "You know, it's sad when gays can serve in the military but our children can't celebrate Christmas at school."
This is the TV version of trolling. Does anyone agree with this point or think that ...
